A method of manufacturing a hollow core door is disclosed, as well as a corresponding hollow core door. The method includes the steps of providing a solid flat door skin, moisturizing the flat skin, applying a conditioning resin thereto, pre-heating the flat door skin, and thereafter pressing the flat door skin between a pair of heated platens in a press in order to reform the flat skin into a molded skin including a plurality of panels defined therein. The press continuously closes in order to reform the flat skin into the molded skin, with the rate of press closure being a function of the determined hardness of the flat skin to be reformed. The resulting door skins have an improved bond strength, and are efficiently manufactured.

1. A molded door skin, comprising: a first planar portion,a second planar portion surrounding said first planar portion, andan angled offset portion extending between and integrally connecting said first and second planar portions,wherein said angled offset portion has a first thickness, said first
1. A molded door skin, comprising: a first planar portion,a second planar portion surrounding said first planar portion, andan angled offset portion extending between and integrally connecting said first and second planar portions,wherein said angled offset portion has a first thickness, said first and second planar portions have a second thickness, and said first thickness is less than said second thickness, andwherein said molded door skin is formed of wood composite comprising a thermosetting resin. 2. The molded door skin of claim 1, wherein the second thickness of said first and second planar portions is about 4 mm and the first thickness of said angled offset portion is about 3 mm. 3. The molded door skin of claim 1, wherein said door skin has a substantially uniform density throughout the thickness thereof in a range of about 550 kg/m3 to about 1200 kg/m3. 4. The molded door skin of claim 1, wherein said door skin has a substantially uniform density throughout the thickness thereof in a range of about 800 kg/m3 to about 1200 kg/m3. 5. The molded door skin of claim 1, wherein said door skin has a bond strength of at least 2.5 N/mm2. 6. The molded door skin of claim 1, further comprising a moisture impervious barrier applied to an exterior surface of said door skin. 7. The molded door skin of claim 1, wherein said first and second planar portions are parallel and non-coplanar with one another. 8. The molded door skin of claim 1, wherein said wood composite comprises a medium density fiberboard or hard board. 9. The molded door skin of claim 1, wherein said angled offset portion forms a rectangle with respect to an elevational view of said door skin to define a panel. 10. A door comprising: a frame having opposite first and second sides,a first molded door skin secured to the first side of the frame, anda second molded door skin secured to the second side of the frame, the second molded door skin comprising a first planar portion, a second planar portion surrounding said first planar portion, and an angled offset portion extending between and integrally connecting said first and second planar portions, wherein said angled offset portion has a first thickness, wherein said first and second planar portions have a second thickness, wherein said first thickness is less than said second thickness, and wherein said molded door skin is formed of wood composite, comprises a thermosetting resin, and has a bond strength of at least 2.0 N/mm2. 11. A method of manufacturing a molded door skin, comprising: providing a wood composite flat blank that has already been compressed from a thick, loose, moisture-containing state;moisturizing the wood composite flat blank to raise a moisture content thereof; andreforming the wood composite flat blank in a heated press to form a molded door skin, the molded door skin comprising a first planar portion, a second planar portion surrounding the first planar portion, and an angled offset portion extending between and integrally connecting the first and second planar portions, wherein the angled offset portion has a first thickness, the first and second planar portions have a second thickness, and the first thickness is less than the second thickness, and wherein the molded door skin has a bond strength of at least 2.0 N/mm2. 12. The method of claim 11, further comprising applying a liquid conditioning thermal curable resin to at least one major surface of the wood composite flat blank prior to said reforming. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the liquid conditioning thermal curable resin comprises melamine formaldehyde or urea formaldehyde. 14. The method of claim 11, wherein said reforming comprises continuously increasing pressure in a non-stepped manner. 15. The method of claim 11, wherein the first and second planar portions of the molded door skin have a reduced thickness of about 10 percent compared to a thickness of the wood composite flat blank prior to said reforming. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the thickness of the wood composite flat blank prior to said reforming is in a range of about 3 mm to 7 mm. 17. The method of claim 11, further comprising preheating the wood composite flat blank, and subsequently introducing the preheated wood composite flat blank into the heated press, wherein said moisturizing is performed after said preheating but before said introducing of the preheated wood composite flat blank into the heated press. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein said moisturizing comprises increasing a moisture content of the preheated wood composite flat blank to about 10 to 12 percent while maintaining a temperature of the preheated wood composite blank in a range of about 80° C. to 100° C. 19. The method of claim 11, wherein said reforming comprises venting to release at least steam and volatiles from the heated press. 20. The method of claim 11, wherein the bond strength is at least 2.5 N/mm2.
